    So The IRS Sends You a Refund Check By Mistake For 980K. What’s Your Next Move
    Saw this happened to a guy in Florida. Bought a Lexus and put the rest in a money market account. IRS found out. Seized the car and got about 900k back. What would some of you guys do

    Put it in a frame, never cash. You can't beat the IRS. Audits for life for that guy now.

              the babes can be hot, but I generally prefer women who haven't simultaneouly taken 2 in the pink and one in the stink, and all from relatives (brothers, uncles, dad, etc.) no less.....

              every triple anal porno ive seen involved either some ukrane or russian whore screaming in broken english "I luuuhhvvvv eeeettt" as some quasi-homo armenian huge-kahked fuks traded paint in her ass.......

                    Deposit it, waita few years and don't touch the money (or be able to pay it back)

                    I did this once and never heard anything

                      Put it in the bank and sit back and enjoy the 5% interest that I hear guys here talk about.

                        I would take it to the bank disguised as myself. I would then spend all of it on pawn shop gold, bury it and return home. Then I would pretend I was tied up at home the whole time and deny everything.

                          I'd say bet it all on a game. If you win. Pay back. If you lose move to Thailand

                            True story, bought a 4 figure sum of bitcoin from coinbase when they offered instant buy via bank ACH, in like 2013, money never was taken out of my checking. Still haven’t heard anything to this day. Withdrew BTC no problem.

                                  Contact them and send it back. There's zero chance such a mistake goes unnoticed, and that's not enough money for me to justify spending the rest of my life in a 3rd world country.

                                      You take the money and go to Vegas and play high limit basic strategy blackjack. Even if you get even you will get comped a lot. Then return the money to IRS. You have wined and dined without risking your own money.

                                              If it was 9.8 MILLION okay then yes try to funnel money around. If its 980k, I'm likely investing it into a midgrade or junk bonds, 5-10% yield, IRS interest is 2% or whatever but their error might be waived. Either way 6 months spread of 5% = ~$25,000 to keep. 980k is not enough to be happy for rest of life running / no career. No thanks.
